Nice work on your store Matt. I like the mouseover on the images.

[mpjbay]

thanks roban. that is just the web site. the store/and site in the process of being finished (as soon as the upgrade script is out). The site should be updated tonight. I would love to find a way to set the store up to work just like the site. I am going to delve into that once the store is live.

thank you for the compliments. =)

Any news on when the upgrade will come out? I tried doing a fresh install and importing the db, but that didn't work.

Thanks,
MikeK

[mpjbay]

Yes, i can't do anything with this new version till I have a good way of upgrading.

[mpjbay]

They must be having problems and are busy debugging code. I would guess it will just show up one day. I wonder if they will beta test it first?

[mpjbay]

that being said i wonder if i should do a fresh install. the issue is that i use qbooks for merchant services which will not work in .3 but will in .4

?

Merchant Services as in a payment gateway? I don't think QB has a payment gateway API.

Personally, I would redo everything (and I did). Because there are so many changes, the table code is hard to read and separate whats new. However I got a diff program, so I can match two cart versions and see every line that has changed since last release. This makes it a bit easier.

It will take you a while, because not only has the cart changes been made to .php files. But also to the skins itself.

Chances of the upgrade script working correctly with a modified skin is very slim. If you start now, you are probably done before the upgrade script is released.

[mpjbay]

i agree.

i didn't even think of installing side by side until an hour ago. i am going to this right now.

=)

[roban]

I just finished installing 118 products from another cart system in to 1.3.3 and I'm not doing that again. If I could import a few database tables from 1.3.3 into 1.3.4 I'd consider doing that.

[mpjbay]

i just installed .4 and the database from .3 will not migrate. =( i am going to start entering metadata tomorrow.

[hans]

Importing products from a .3 database into .4 database shouldn't cost you that much work, export and import right? It's the php and tpl files that will cost you a lot of time, especially when you've made customizations.

[mpjbay]

i brought in a couple friends to help fill in the data. i had a lot of global options for clothes i had to enter in. no worries. i am almost back online.

=)

An upgrade would really make my life easier and an ETA would make things even better.

[mpjbay]

heya smoked1

i ended up installing a fresh version side by side for reference then had the new store up in a day (long be albeit) it really wasn't as touch as i thought it would be.

ditto, an ETA couldn't hurt. At least my client would back off and calm down...

Just tell him "there is a security bug that needs to be ironed out"
Clients usually back off if they sense a bit of money being hacked.
